I never said it was graphically the same. I said "artistic style" not it looks like a Wii game. Of course it is a graphical improvement but what I am saying is they have taken the Kirby's Epic Yarn style (which sold) and just applied it to another Nintendo character. I would rather see them go a different direction with Yoshi and just release this game as another Kirby game because the STYLE is exactly the same

I agree. I gave up my Wii at the middle of this console Gen, but I buy every nintendo system. I think the WiiU is definitely a keeper...judging by the support it has and the great games they just showed us.

I kept joking to my friends that I would buy a Wii U when they released a Yoshi game on it. I think I'll wait for another... If ever.

I don't really dig the whole yarn thing. I have a friend who likes Kirby, but he couldn't stand Kirby Yarn... Neither could I, but that's subjective I guess.

They could have easily used the graphics engine for their New Super Mario Bros U game, and just made Yoshi the main character. This, at this point, doesn't look like a worthy inclusion into the very short Yoshi series.

Oh how I wish they released a Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 3D version on the 3DS.

Yawn*.I have a new slogan for the Wii U: It only does Side Scrollers and Mini Games. Side scrollers have no place on an HD console when they're going to be full retail price. Sorry but they're not fun anymore. I was excited for the potential of a full 3D adventure game featuring Yoshi and they just proved again that the only thing a majority of their huge franchise's will ever be is a side scrolling baby game, Disagree with me if you want but I for one don't want a repeat of what made Wii such a meh system. The only thing they've shown that's appealing is Pikmin 3. They really gotta step it up. This is bogus.

I only saw 1 side scroller as well...some of the games look very good though. Im not surprised there are people hating though. Nintendo is pretty much the kid's console, and always has been. This Gen seems to be changing that.

I've been playing games since 1836 (my avatar is a pic from my 179th birthday) and I'm loving the side-scroller revival along with the various HD remakes. I'm happy with a 2D Yoshi, especially as it's being developed by the same team that did Kirby's Epic Yarn (an excellent, albeit easy platformer).

Sometimes the urge to be bleeding-edge can get in the way of simple, great gameplay.

(and for everybody wanting a Nintendo 3D platformer, they announced one of those too \o/ )

haters and nongamers will always have some silliness to say....this game looks fantastic and fits yoshi's world perfectly and shows that wiiu is fantastic especially with gamepad designs to elevate the gameplay
